From TheBlaze.com, about the centrist organization: "The Republican Main Street Partnership is dropping the 'Republican' from its name in hopes of attracting more centrist Democrats, Yahoo News reports. Now known as just 'The Main Street Partnership,' the group insists Democrats and Republicans need to find more common ground in Washington."
More: "'The goal is to try and fill the void that is the middle,' the group’s new president, former Ohio congressman Steven LaTourette, told Yahoo. 'The American political system is like a doughnut: You’ve got sides, but you don’t have anything in the middle and it would be my goal to work with Republicans and Democrats who want to find the path forward to getting things done and compromise.'"
